crossover frequency depends on the tweeter and crossover slope

Tweeter crossover should in general be at least 2X the driver's fs when using a 3rd order or higher slope. If using a 1st or 2nd order, at least 3X fs.

The tweeters you have are ready to be connected to a full range system. There is a capacitor inside the case of the tweeter. The crossover on the deck will give you some extra protection no matter what frequency you have it set to. You should try it on different settings to see what sounds best to you.
